Taiwan Travel - Visiting an ex Japanese Shinto Shrine and Traditional Qing Era Home

Being born and raised in Taiwan until I was 12 years ago, I did not realize there was quite a lot of architecture left by the Japanese during the occupation period. During my few days trip back to Taiwan with my family, I visited a few interesting sites - including an ex-Japanese Shinto shrine (now a Martyrs' Shrine) that was very well preserved, and the Lin Family Mansion and Garden, a Qing era style residence, that was built in 1853 by one of the top 5 influential families in Taiwan during that time.

There was a Japanese Shrine in Singapore too, Syonan Jinja (昭南神社, Shōnan Jinja, lit. "Shōnan Shrine") was a Shinto shrine at MacRitchie Reservoir, Singapore. Built by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Japanese occupation of Singapore in World War II, the shrine was destroyed directly before British forces re-occupied Singapore
